We just talked about working hard and the kids did that today. Usually when you work hard, the shots on goal come, and today was indicative of that.

It was a nice win, but it got close. I thought they carried the majority of the third period. It became a nail-biter. The Reps worked hard. I don't think we matched their work ethic in that third period.

He looked really comfortable. He played his best game of the year, by far.

We very much underachieved in last year's tournament. We hoped to put in a good showing.

The Reps have an excellent coaching staff. They preach work ethic. Their kids came out and gave a great effort. I didn't expect anything different.

You need good goaltending to win big games and both teams got it (Saturday night).
